Max McNown releases ‘Turned Into Missing You’ with Avery Anna | A heartfelt duet reimagined with soaring emotion and depth
Folk singer-songwriter Max McNown continues to prove his staying power with the release of a reimagined version of ‘Turned Into Missing You’, this time as a duet with fast-rising artist Avery Anna. Out now via Fugitive Recordings x The Orchard x Columbia Records, the track offers a new emotional dimension as their voices intertwine to create a strikingly intimate ballad.
The official music video, directed by Wales Toney, captures the heartfelt essence of the track, showcasing both artists’ ability to deliver authentic performances.
For Avery Anna, the collaboration was a special moment. She shared, “‘Turned Into Missing You’ is such an amazing song I’m so grateful to be a part of. Max is a certified lover boy, and as a sad song girl, it was a breath of fresh air to work with him.” 
McNown reflected on the partnership with admiration: “Ever since seeing Avery’s content online I’ve had the feeling that we’d hit it off, and sure enough, now that we’ve met, I can confirm she’s as talented and authentic in person as she seems to be online. Her vocal capability brought this song to a different level and I’m so honored that she was willing to jump aboard!”
This release arrives alongside another milestone in McNown’s career. His single ‘A Lot More Free’ has officially achieved RIAA Platinum status, while ‘Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)’ has reached Gold certification. The latter has been climbing the charts with remarkable momentum, landing him at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart, and hitting global streaming peaks with over 200M streams.
With ‘Turned Into Missing You’ highlighting his versatility and Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) expanding his discography, Max McNown is carving out a unique space in modern folk music. This duet not only celebrates collaboration but also solidifies his rising influence in the genre.
